It seems that Mexican cheeses and avocados could go hand in hand. I was wondering if you would let me use your photos of the cheeses and the explanations on my blog. I will of course refer to your blog. Let me know.

It was so good, I bought the bag of Ibarra chocolate. It was nice to see it comes in a bag, as the round circles never worked right for me. Granted, it was back in the 80&#39;s lol<br /><br />I see from above that I am not alone in ejoying this drink! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475512217806716613.post-50006332763441741742009-01-31T17:15:00.000-08:002009-01-31T17:15:00.000-08:00Hi Pearmama!What is it about little piece of dairy...Hi Pearmama!<BR/>What is it about little piece of dairy fat that makes us go forget our diets and makes us wax poetic?

I am a huge fan of cotija....I love, love LOVe it sprinkled on my beans, on sopes, enchiladas. I always buy this giant block. But I think hands down, my fave it queso fresco. It is delicious in a warm, thick corn tortilla, with thinly sliced red onion, tomatoes and some kickin' salsa. Mmmmmm. Such a simple meal and it is soooo delicious. <BR/><BR/>Droppin' science on cheese.

Her food is stupendo!<BR/>Maryann, I have had Mexican friends who have lived in NY and they have the same lament. However, NYC has a vibrant community (they are mostly from Puebla, Mex.), so there's gotta be some good Mexi cheese out there somewhere. What you can do: the next time you go to some fancy NYC restaurant, ask if the waiter if there are Mexicans in there (mostly likely, there are). He'll probably wonder if you are the INS, but after a bit of explanation, I'm sure that they will point you in the right direction.<BR/>If all else fails, go ahead and use Italian cheeses. They are fine substitutes.La Traductorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298877166086971726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475512217806716613.post-16541503423085368352009-01-30T05:19:00.000-08:002009-01-30T05:19:00.000-08:00I am one of the guilty ones who use the wrong chee...I am one of the guilty ones who use the wrong cheeses in my mexican dishes. Your cheeses sound wonderful but are so hard to find. Some of them I've never even heard of. So this post for me is a teaching post. Thank you so much.

There are so many, and each with its unique flavor, not just HOT. But the chile rellenos will come--I am going to have to "experiment" and eat them all to find the ones I like best--it's a "hard" job, but someone has got to do it!<BR/>Please give a big hug to Miss M for me!

I make pretty good ones, but I now know which cheese to use from your recipe. I would love to see how you do them.

I think I will update this post.<BR/>As the pre-grated Mexican chocolate, I love the idea, but for some reason I resist buying it. I realize that I love that little wheel of bittersweet chocolate and truly enjoy the small ritual of grating it myself as I mother used to do.

I was incredulous, and after purchasing a cup, was surprised that it tasted just like a Mexican grandmother would make it. <BR/><BR/>I asked the woman behind the counter, "how do you guys make this, do you actually have somebody grind those chocolate discs down into powder?" She said, "no it already comes in powder form in a bag." I asked her to show me the bag and it was "Ibarra" brand chocolate. She said they were selling small bags of it during Christmas and it was a big hit and sold out.tacosamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535955968854574075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475512217806716613.post-42976633784652903322009-01-19T20:39:00.000-08:002009-01-19T20:39:00.000-08:00Thank you for your beautiful blog.

I especially love how you put the phonetic spelling next to the palabra.<BR/><BR/>Un plato de frijoles is simply not done if there is no queso to sprinkle on top. Sort of like serving a hamburger with no bun.<BR/><BR/>I have also found that the Queso Monterey sold in Mexican markets, sliced directly from the big, waxy wheel, is much different and better tasting than the American version of Monterrey Jack Cheese.<BR/><BR/>I came to your blog via Pearmama.
